New home for the Splonskowskis in 2009!

We have big news...we've purchased a lot out west, signed papers and dropped a deposit - we'll be moving to our new home in October/November time frame 2009!! We've been talking of taking the westward plunge for 18 months or so. My family is out there, many of our closest friends, our gym, church, Ayla's school - it only made sense. Not to mention, if we decide to do public schools rather than private, we wanted her in Millard.

The house is a ranch and we'll end up with about 3500 square feet of finished house. There are three bedrooms on the main floor and one in the basement. The basement will be finished and is a walkout. There are two gas fireplaces. Fun! We have a HUGE back yard that faces beautiful, mature trees that are just budding and a creek. Our lot is kind of pie shaped, it fans out in the back and the lot line actually goes down to the creek itself. We were there a couple of evenings ago and just standing on the lot could here frogs and crickets....we loved it! I can totally imagine sitting on the deck late at night, sipping camomile tea and just taking it all in. Sounds heavenly, huh?

There is a small lake that you can see part of from our lot(we aren't on the lake, it's across the street) that has a playground...Ayla's already been there to check it out and given her approval.

I even love the street lights!

This is the lot head on, it's basically a big hill for the walkout.

This is standing mid lot looking toward the back *lovin' the trees* The black 'fence' is up for consrtuction purposes.

Ayla loves her lot too, she asks to go there often

This is from the end of the culdesac. Ours is the obvious orange sold sign between the two light posts. We're the 5th lot from the corner(which you can't see but is to the left around the corner).

Here is the model. Ours will have stone that continues above the 2 stall garage area and also to the right, where the window is will be covered in stone as well. We've picked a different stone and house color from what is shown.

Now we have to sell our current home! Please pray for it to sell fairly quickly and for a good price!!! We'll be living with my parents until the new house is finished, if we have to move out before hand. YIKES! More yikes for them than us :)
